ORDER OF WORSHIP January 13, 2019 The Baptism of our Lord Baptism of Jesus The baptism of Jesus is one of most ologically profound events in gospel narratives. When Far spoke from heaven saying, This is my Son, hom I love; ith him I am ell pleased (Matt. 3:17), divine sonship of Christ as announced in a vivid and dramatic ay. The event gives us a glimpse of Trinity, ith Far s gift of Spirit Son. Because of significance of this event for establishing Christ s identity, churches have often commemorated Jesus baptism annually on first Sunday after Epiphany. Psalm 29 This is a hymn of praise God for his aesome poer. When it as originally composed, voice of Lord as likely a metaphorical expression describe a thundersrm crackling above land. But at baptism of Jesus, voice of Lord is no longer metaphorical. God s audible voice speaks and its message is unmistakably clear: Jesus is my beloved Son. The peace of God descends upon Jesus as a dove. And through him blessing of peace is extended his people, in fulfillment of verse 11. 2 Call Worship Ascribe Lord, O heavenly beings, ascribe Lord glory and strength. Ascribe Lord glory due his name; orship Lord in splendor of holiness. The voice of Lord is over aters; God of glory thunders, Lord, over many aters. The voice of Lord is poerful; voice of Lord is full of maesty. The voice of Lord breaks cedars; Lord breaks cedars of Lebanon. He makes Lebanon skip like a calf, and Sirion like a young ild ox. The voice of Lord flashes forth flames of fire. The voice of Lord shakes ilderness; Lord shakes ilderness of Kadesh. The voice of Lord makes deer give birth and strips forests bare, and in his temple all cry, Glory! The Lord sits enthroned over flood; Lord sits enthroned as king forever. May Lord give strength his people! May Lord bless his people ith peace!

Confession of Sin Confession Confession of sin happens ithin context of relationship, both ith God and each or. We confess ger, in community, before a gracious God ho has given us himself. Confession both acknoledges our need for mercy and celebrates its abundance in Christ. Merciful God, in baptism you grafted us in body of Christ, a sign and seal of forgiveness of sin and neness of life in Spirit. But o often e fail live as forgiven and ne people. We keep destructive habits and hold grudges. We allo our flesh guide our thoughts, and our past hold us hostage. In your loving-kindness have mercy on us and free us from sin. Remind us of promises you have made us in baptism so that e may live as your glad, completely-devoted disciples, Amen. (You are invited confess your sins silently.) Assurance of Pardon Isaiah 43:1-4 Here Isaiah plays on idea of a ransom price that is sometimes conveyed by redeemed. God ill move hisry for sake of his people. Egypt alludes exodus. The more remote Ethiopia and Seba may imply that God ill go any length and alter hisry of any nation for his people s salvation. But no thus says LORD, he ho created you, O Jacob, he ho formed you, O Israel: Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine. When you pass through aters, I ill be ith you; and through rivers, y shall not overhelm you; hen you alk through fire you shall not be burned, and flame shall not consume you. For I am LORD your God, Holy One of Israel, your Savior. I give Egypt as your ransom, Ethiopia and Seba in exchange for you. Because you are precious in my sight, and honored, and I love you, I give people in return for you, nations in exchange for your life. No e read Isaiah 43 on or side of cross and e see ho great price he as illing pay: cost as sacrifical death of God s Son. His life is exchanged for ours. Ho can this be? 6
